But the largely peaceful protests have been overshadowed by hundreds of arrests, destruction to businesses and police property, including a precinct house and several cars.Officers in Minneapolis were filmed Saturday patrolling through neighborhoods ahead of an 8 p.m. curfew, demanding people standing on their properties"go inside now.
According to a tally by The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, at least 17 members of the news media were injured Saturday in incidents, and the groupMinneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo told reporters late Saturday that arrests being conducted by officers were"strategic" and that"folks who are willing to comply and leave our city and ensure that they're not harming it, that's OK. We're restoring hope back into the city.
DonnerKay Aggressive? You meant violent. Call it what it is, NBC.
This is way they protest.
So I’m assuming that if these citizens “feared for their lives” and responded to this attack with deadly force, that’d be ok, right? RIPUSA
Disgrace to all GOOD cops. -

Dis is Trump's America 😭 😭😭
The only language they understand is $$. Sue their arses off.
Its cruelty
The police need to be more aggressive. When thugs, looters, and terrorists are extremely violent and even killing people it seems ridiculous for NBC to suggest that our police should be less aggressive.
Talk about institutional racism, the person who is condoning this behaviour is the head of the “free” world. bunkerbabytrump
Nice headline. Let’s enable the fascists a little more with these weak words.
Light up a Karen next time they dont wear a mask
They’re not police they’re thugs.
Better vote me out in November then
Rioters
Didn’t hear it... more fake news
Police who take advantage of the chaos to behave like criminals demonstrate the lack of training in how to de escalate a chaotic situation.
Shut up Karen
Comparisons are very hurtful things. US Demonstrations Contrast with Hong Kong Demonstrations. China's COVID-19 compared to the United Kingdom, the United States COVID-19.
Lightem up ! And their it is -But just two words to encapsulate the womb of the problem-The them against us mentality-And who or what is to blame for it ?Money ? Power ?Fear ?Greed ?Or does it start by example ? If leaders are monsters then followers the same ? Australian police
This is despicable! DCProtests BlackLivesMatter
GovJVentura FBI
They used a paintball gun. Marks the suspect for later arrest. Must be people running off of porches, causing trouble, then running back All innocent like. They need to mark little shits on street, pick them up, then arrest everyone in house they live in for conspiracy to loot.
Iraq war crimes “Light em up” 👇
mooresilverlake If cops can’t tell that someone on their doorstep isn’t rioting, what hope do they have to know what a peaceful protest looks like? The reality is that cops ARE the instigators, when they’re not there, there’s no violence.
GovJVentura Aggressive police tactics? You mean police brutality amd criminal acts.
They just adding more fuel to the the 🔥
GovJVentura This is really the angle your going with as cops lie bleeding in the streets?
“Light ‘em up”. LOL I loved Ghost Busters but I think I’d rather see Trump Busters. Now don’t cross the streams (something often said at the urinals).
ECMcLaughlin Took you long enough. Saw this days ago.
GovJVentura Shouldn't the police be where the looters are instead of harassing people who are behaving themselves?
NBC - Fake News Winner 2020 What? No Video? 🤥
You can NOT cause mass destruction and chaos without repercussions. Don't expect anyone to be nice to you, including the police. If you don't like the result, go home...
Shame on them.
Why nobody condemn the extreme brutality of the Hong Kong Police?
MSM reaps profits by dividing us, wake up America
Bring it on. These savages deserve to be treated like the animals that they are.
If you watch the videos they are not the only car there it’s a car in front of them full of pale people. Why mess with them being black in America is a crime
More tRump puppet police officers. Arrest those cops. They weren't doing their jobs as cops. They were doing tRump work.
Very repressive laws should be enacted to correct these kinds of overruns!
Now NBC do a story on looter/rioter violence on police and innocent victims….I'll wait...
It's no wonder the country is going up in flames. SMH
This happens for so long!!! Shame on you, America! Leader of the free world? It's time for you to deal with this shit, once and for all! FUCKING VOTE!!! Right this time! BLACK_LIVES_MATERS The EU stands with the people in the streets! JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
Now fire the rest of them, too.
If THIS is how they act when they KNOW cameras are rolling just imagine how they act when they think they're NOT!
TWO is NOT enough KeishaBottoms! Atlanta_Police Georgia_NAACP
Mayor Bottoms is brave and decisive for her actions on this.
ucancallmejoker The American police are completely out of control!
desk duty?
fuckthepolice
OMFG NBC! There are many cops apart of the movement but you can't fucking help yourself can you! You have to keep fueling the hatred. You want to keep this going because it is good for your ratings. You won't show the many cops marching with protesters and kneeling.
People are protesting, police are rioting
The more this happens the less police officers will be prepared to put their lives on the line to enforce any laws. The result will be lawlessness, rioting, lynching and burning buildings. I guess that is what people want...
BarackObama BillClinton POTUS44 HillaryClinton CIA NSAGov cnnbrk MSNBC maddow LastWeekTonight Janefonda ALL FORMER PRESIDENTS NEED TO SPEAK OUT SAVE MY COUNTRY
Can it be more clear Democrat mayor Bottoms is handing out STAY out jail cards to ALL the rioters.

I hope they sue
